>> Dennis,
>> What are the symptoms of the engine running?  What prompted you to have the EFI checked?  Does it "feel" bad in some way?
>> 
>> Have you talked with Mike Trusty?  Has he given any idea what might be a cause of being out of sync?
>> Dick had it tuned pretty sweet, so it could be something benign like a fuel filter or FOD in a fuel log leading to one bank.

>> If all else fails, if Mike can give me a good idea of what to do, we may be able to do it in Ely.  Though honestly I -don't- want to be compared to the guy tuning the carbs on his ancient Jaguar a few ago and who (I think) never even started the race.

>> Don't give up.  We can make this happen.  After all, we can't let Paul run and not you.  ;)

>> By the way, did you get Paul a waiver from Rookie school?

>>> The performance shop I found here in Fresno whose fuel injection expert had a personal crisis and has went AWOL for a week and half is still AWOL and the shop where the Pantera was at waiting for this guy to come back to work just called me to say they have given up on the guy and fired him...I quess assuming they can find him. They have 2 other pissed off customers who have also been waiting a week plus for this loser to show up. Bad news for all involved....and I thought painters were bad. This beats the cake. Yea like you say John, "ya just can't trust people".

>>> So tomorrow morning I will call 2-3 other guys recommended to me tonight who all do IR-EFI Kinsler etc tuning in Sacramento and back down in LA plus the tuner who did work for MikeT originally who is also in LA.

>>> Either way I figure if Mark can drive all the way from the right coast to get here I can drive where ever it takes to get the FI tuned. Again issue is TB's are out of sync and one bank is too rich and the other is lean.

>>> Quess I gotta count my blessings that this is the only time in 9 years I have even had a FI problem serious enough that I couldn't run the Pantera.

>>> So praying to the TPR gods tonight...
